I am struggling to find anything that will play 1080p/60 smoothly other than on a pc. I have a hd camcorder that I want to be able to stream files to my 58" plasma. My best bet was the ps3, but even running the MST file locally from the hard drive is jittery. It seems that when the bitrate gets up to 30-35 it starts to choke. Anyone have luck with this on the ps3 or any devices that can decode with better success? I really dont want to compress to watch these videos. The quality is too awesome

On a well configured network... or from attached storage... a Dune media player will play most any file. PERFECTLY!

The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man -- and give some back.

I would also like to know if there is any current media player/streamer that has the power to handle 1080p at 50/60fps.... When I look at the box for e.g. Boxee and similar, they only seem to support 1080p at 24p or 30p......

Boxee will play 1080p/60 smoothly if you demux your MTS (or M2TS) file, then remux to MKV via MKVMerge. I've been doing this to my Sony DSC-HX9V camera's videos with good results. Also, the few Realtek 1185- (Pivos AIOS, Mede8er 450X2) or 1186-based (HiMedia HD900B, Micca EP600 G2) streamers I've tried have played 1080p/60 files as is and in MKV container.

your best bet for 1080/60 from camcorder is going with a boxee box or a realtek based player. they seem to handle them better then the sigma based players. Your best option is cut some samples and upload to like mediafire and ask nicely for people with units to test them. As not all camcorders record the same way, I have seen plenty of times even when different models from a company will show different results on a player

Forgive me, I haven't had to do much file converting. What is the gain of demuxing then putting in the mkv container? If you aren't taking anything out or compressing how does it improve performance?

There shouldn't be any difference, but for whatever reason, my camcorder 1080p/60 files play smoothly via Boxee Box in MKV, while as MTS directly, they stutter. Agree that Realtek 1185 or 1186-based streamers play 1080p/60 MTS or MKV files smoothly.
